Hard to believe. But that was really what PC graphics looked like back then. "CGA" video was only three colors (Cyan, Magenta, White) @ 320x200 resolution.
Those pics are the actual screen sizes. And the original IBM color display was very expensive.
That's why so many screens you see from that time are Green or Amber monochrome. Ever seen a "Lotus 1-2-3" graph?
Here's a few more "screenshots" for you to enjoy. Bet lots of guys beat off to this...
Atari however was way ahead of the game.
The fourth pic was from an "Atari ST."
Just a few years later, by the late 80's, "EGA" and "VGA" graphic standards were becoming commonplace. The last two are from 1988.
(Strip Poker was written in GWBASIC. "Dr. Andy" was in kindergarten. One of the first things he ever did was write a short subroutine that caused her to strip when you pressed F10. To the delight of his friends. Someone uploaded his version to a BBS. Anyone remember those? Very naughty boy... )
